The Ultimate Gentleman (Part 2)

Forty Five

"Are you sure?" Johnny asked tenderly sat beside his wife who was on the bed leaning against the headboard breastfeeding their baby. "I'm sure. Are you?" She said looking up at her husband and smiling. "Very... and honoured." He said quietly. Holly blushed and bit her lip emotionally.

"Edward John Michael Depp." Holly whispered stroking her son's cheek with one finger gazing down at him. "Our little Teddy bear." Johnny smirked leaning over to admire their newborn. "I never knew you had such a soft spot for Scissorhands..." he said to his wife, who was still gazing at the baby. "Well now you know. The very first time I laid eyes on you, the role that you said floored you and made you who you are.. we can't have another junior wandering around and besides, that's special. Jack was your first born son. He should continue the lineage but Teddy here is still honouring the greatest man I know. You." She eventually looked up at her husband who was emotional. "I love you.." "I love you more Johnny."

The next morning, after a very tiring night with a newborn, Holly emerged from the bedroom carrying Teddy. "Mumma!!! I want cuddles!!" Pippa said running across the landing from her bedroom. "Darling, I'm just taking your baby brother downstairs, and then when you're ready for the day you can come down and have cuddles I promise." "That's not fair!!!" The four year old pouted stomping her foot. "Darling, remember what we talked about.. Your baby brother needs Mummy a lot right now just like you did when you were born, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love you any less. Now come see Daddy.. I think I'm suffering with a life threatening illness..." Johnny said dropping to his knees on the landing. "You're ill?" Holly said shocked as this was the first she had heard of it. "Yes I've got cuddle-itus. It means I'm gonna need lots and lots of cuddles for the next few weeks. Pip do you think you and Lottie can help??" Johnny smirked to his youngest daughter who cheered "Yeahhhh!!!!! Don't want Daddy to be poorly!!" Holly smiled before hushing the child. "It's not even 7am yet. You know how grouchy Lottie and Jack get being woken up before they need to be." Holly giggled.

Eventually, the Depp children were all sat at the dining table tucking into breakfast. Teddy was fast asleep in his father's arms and Holly was stood behind Lottie's chair plaiting her hair. "Mummy I really think Mrs Banks will say it's ok for me to stay home today." "I'm really sure she won't..." Johnny smirked to his 6 year old. "You have to go to school Lottie then you can grow up and be anything you want to be." "I don't want to go though!!" She whined looking up at her mother making Jack smirk. "How about if you go to school and be a good girl, when you get home I'll play pirates with you!" The elder brother smiled happily. "Really??!! And baby bro too????" Lottie said happily. "Umm I'm not sure if our baby bro can play just yet but we'll see." Jack said attempting to keep the peace. "Baby Bro can be the captain..." Lily giggled. "Don't they just bark their orders and laze around all day.... Kinda like a baby." She continued looking at her father cheekily. "I'll have you know being a captain is very hard work." Johnny replied. "And talking of baby bro...." He added. "We have a name for him." Holly said smiling proudly. "Well?!" Jack asked. Johnny stood and said "Let me introduce you to, Edward John Michael Depp.. who will be known as Ted or Teddy for now." "Oh my gosh it's adorable!!" Lily squealed. "Our very own teddy bear." "Teddy???" Lottie said scrunching her nose. "Yes unless he's in trouble... you know like when we tell you off and say Charlotte???" Lottie's eyes went wide before she smiled."I like it. Baby Brother bear." Pippa said with a smile. Holly and Johnny smiled at one another. Their little family was perfect.

An hour later Lily walked into the house and hung her jacket up. "I was papped so be warned there will def be headlines claiming you've given up being a mother or some crap like that." She said sitting down beside Holly who kissed her head. "Thank you so so much for going with Bruce to drop them off." Holly said gratefully. "What's your plan for today?" She asked her eldest step daughter. "Nothing.. I've got nothing in the diary until Cannes next week, and then my birthday." "Oh yes... are you meeting up with Pierre at Cannes?" "Erhhh no. I'm not." "You're not?!" Holly said surprised. "No it's over. He's gone. Long gone." "Oh darling I'm sorry." Holly said sadly before burping the newborn baby on her lap. "Don't be. I was happy to find out this soon he's a cheating lying douche." Holly's eyes widened before she nodded slowly and handed the baby to the eldest Depp child. "Here's a little guy who will never break your heart." "He actually makes my heart hurt... in a good way." Lily gushed making a fuss over the baby.
